SriLanka Military had 'precise coordinates' of bombed peace zone

Nowadays Colombo relies greatly on Pakistan for weapons though Colombo has been known to bomb and kill local Muslims for many years. This seems completely in disaccord with the Koran.

The site bombed by Sri Lankan jets on Monday had been designated a humanitarian zone and the LTTE had passed its coordinates on to the military via the UN children’s agency, UNICEF, and the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC), NGO sources said Tuesday.

The Sri Lankan military had been given precise coordinates of where ‘Peace village’ comprising the Senchcholai home hit by Monday’s airstrike and other humanitarian centres is located.
UNICEF chief in Colombo JoAnna VanGerpen told AFP Tuesday: "These were children from surrounding schools in the area who were brought there for a two-day training workshop on first aid."

On Monday four Kfir jet bombers dropped 16 bombs directly on the children’s home, destroying several buildings and killing scores of teenagers and wounding 150 others.
